price for machine work
i am contemplating ordering a 347 stroker kit and i jsut talked to a machinist
he told me for the work to the block it would run me about $500
then to assemble the rotating assembly it would be another $450
are these prices about accurate?

+1 That does seem a little high. I remember calling a shop a while back and I think they said something like $600 total... not positive though so dont take my word for it

But then it also depends, are they charging you hourly rate or flat rate?

RE: price for machine work
Here where I am at, machine work runs aboot $70hr. Figure notching block, cylinder work, and hone lifter bores in new block, about 10-11 hours. I will let those who are curious do the math. Machine work can be VERY high to the point where it seems rediculous, and some times sooooo low that it seems too good to be true (in a lost of cases it is). I have been using the same folks for years and would use them at any shop rate. I build my own motors so all I need is the finish machine work. It saves some buckage.
